A Couple Of Cowslips From The Curate's Copse

Firefighters will not be allowed to support the England team at the World Cup after being banned from flying the national flag at their station.

The ban was handed out after St George's Day, when Barking Fire Station's Blue Watch put up an England flag to mark the patron saint's day. They were told it might offend certain groups in the community.

But Ashfaq Siddique, secretary of Barking Mosque, called for the fire brigade to use some common sense and not to be oversensitive.

He said: "The World Cup is coming up and I think if you look at the Muslim households around the borough, they will be flying the England flag because many Muslims will be supporting England."

If they don't like the Cross of St George I wonder what they make of the flags of Corsica ( a Moor's head) or that of sardinia? (A cross of St George with 4 Moors' heads). The Moor's heads are thought to relate to the North African practice of raiding the islands for slaves.

Dont let the smoking ban happen in england its the first step to a lot of bans. Whats next alcohol? cars over 3 years old? who knows. but they will never ban foreign scum coming here to rape and murder, and dangerous prisoners will always be released after half their sentence to murder again. We cant send this or that murderer back to -----land he might be tortured (my heart bleeds) let him stay here to kill an innocent child.hang them high they wont harm anyone again.
